Admittedly, I've not seen the original. I also grabbed the new one whilst at it so I can watch it again.

I grew up on Sagan's Cosmos series....
I particularly like the Eratosthenes episode where Sagan describes the first documented scientific experiment - the birth of the scientific method in about 190 BC.
Eratosthenes was not only curator of the Great Library in Alexandria he was also known as the Beta man - the thinker who was second best at everything his did.
